nice job on your lines per usual. does the benitez-jaynes fight being at 155 affect your confidence/unit level on the fight? assuming you played 4u when the fight was announced at 145? or i could just be totally off base here altogether. hopefully this question doesn't clog the thread too much.
 
He has 4 units in Benitez to put things into perspective.

To be honest, the +110 and -235 lines are so far apart (<48% vs >70% represented probability) that despite it being the same fighter, it’s not even remotely the same bet. There are plenty of spots where I would go big on a plus money play but pass on the same fighter as over a 2:1 favorite.

What difference does it make if the bet cashes? We're here to make money.
I think that's a strange approach to betting. If you believe the fighter is going to win, it shouldn't matter if the odds are -225. Since most people are taking and misinterpreting my post, let me explain further.

if i see someone like Sadistics throw 4u on a fighter at plus 110, I am inclined, (like others on here but they’re afraid to admit it for being called out) to believe it’s a very solid read and his level of confidence helps me be confident in that bet. If I was already leaning Benitez (I was, check my tapology page) I have no problem betting him @ -230. This refers to only this situation.

I am not advocating betting heavy favorites period.

Next Nunes or Schevenko fight when the odds are like -2000 you should bet ur entire bankroll on them since the odds dont matter who cares if its -2000 we are all here to make money
 
Would you recommend Benitez -235

No, I think it's now accurate.

I kinda prefer it, Benitez should be a bit more durable and Jaynes' issue isn't the weight cut, it's the 100% commitment to everything he does.

Dangerous way to look at it. You're betting the line not the fighter.

I actually agree with you on this one, I dont like going for less than -200 tho even I know the fighter will most likely win this fight. I think as you said if you confident fighter will win go for it, Im sure a lot of us here will disagree with it and thats fine different people, different opinion but as I mentioned I wouldnt go less than -200. ( unless its khabib or curtis vs lewis for example ) ppl were so high on lewis TKO curtis late rounds .... lol I rly hope they WILL re book that fight just to prove people....

I dont know if I agree with it for the first time with @Sadistics on this. Eg Gaethje I rly have nooo clue what people saw in Gaethje that he could win... The ML ? cose khabib dad past away ? some people said apparently khabib didnt look himself ..? a lot of speculations which I thought betting Gaethje big waste of money. Seen people went as big as 3u and I said before fight if you look my comments ' Gaethje will get clapped ez and that will be it ' . Same thing with Curtis vs Lewis I rly hope they will rebook it and will see.

(Sadistics one of the best guy betting wise here, his style worked for him rly well so I understand his point of view) Me personally I just wouldnt go on some fights just because ML is good, some fights worth taking the risk tho EG last weekend had 2u on Parker and ADS ( yes can show a pic of 800£ on both guys , I just dont post my picks ) which both won and were good dogs but just because it was WORTH taking the risk not Gathje over Khabib....

Also @Crimp_Keeper (not taking shots, you liked my comment we best friends now :) you mentioned if you believe the fighter will win line doesnt matter, however you picked Moreno over Figuiredo , Vera over Aldo ? please correct me if Im wrong , but if you did I think they both will lose. So again I think its waste of money but good that you didnt go big.

PS at the end of the day who gives a f*** ... as long you you profit there is that to it. You dont need to prove anything to anyone .
Edited this over 3+ times prob now, before Crimpy starts correcting me Kappa, Good luck this weekend everyone , lets make some $$ !

Oh no. Version 826383 of explaining value/probability vs simple win/loss incoming...

If it needs to be explained to you why it matters betting something at +110 and not -235, you shouldn't be betting at all. Clearly probability wasnt taught in many schools.

Edit: The latest episode of "the boxing betting podcast" by Tom Craze explains this well. Amusingly id expect those who refuse to learn why probability/odds are important to not listen and those who already understand it to do so. Such is the world we live and people being proudly ignorant

Damn son. What you are saying is that you would take a 60% line on a 80% event?
 
so you can’t explain what the difference is if the bet cashes? I understand implied probability. This is odds, not rocket science.

also, I know ALL of you have bet someone at -225-250 previously so I’m not sure what your panties are all bunched up for.

Because it's not all about a single bet, it's about a long term betting strategy. If you consistently put your money in 'value' positions you will profit over time. Yeah you will lose bets but you only need a small edge to be a profitable gambler.

A value bet isn't just a dog bet, no one here is just betting the biggest dogs on each card and calling it value.

If Khabib is -300 but you believe -500 is a more accurate price then that would be a value bet.

Obviously you have to see a reasonable path to victory for any fighter you are betting and believe that they do have a realistic chance of winning the fight.

But, personally, I don't always check out implied probability percentages because I don't really care.

Bet how you want and if it works for you then who cares.
